Title: Phillips CDI
Post by: makeshiftknight on March 02, 2008, 12:46:13 PM
Since there's no section for it, I uploaded some CDI raws to the 3DO section. They should be super easy to finish up for anyone who wants to, just a bit of trimming mostly. I'd do it, but I'm still trying to get my editor going.

I'd like CD-I covers! I never had a 3D0, only Philips CD-I, primarily for the 3 stinky Zelda games (must have them even though they suck), Hotel Mario and the laser disc games, like Dragon's Lair.

Would we be wanting jewel case versions,or go "DVD".That is the question. ;).It would be nice to have a CDI section.

Well, I usually like to keep them in their originally sized format. Come to think of it, PlayStation 1 and CD-i came in two formats (as well as a few Saturn games). OK, well for those, I HATE the big box CD-i, PS1 and Saturn cases. I have all of these in CD cases. Saturn in Japanese style.

Quite agree about the oversize boxes,particularly the foul CDI ones.I have quite a few CDI's so maybee we can get something going in both jewel case and DVD format.(im trying to go all DVD myself)

I was kind of thinking that it'd be like the PSOne and Dreamcast sections, with the jewel case being the "original" cover and DVD case being "custom". And the large cases for the CDI where just a HUGE gray case with a big sticker across the front, so I'm not a whole lot of sure if we should even bother with those, as you can't buy the cases anymore.

Sounds like a plan.All thats needed is a CDI section to get the ball rolling.Better pray to the Admins ! ;)

Oh c'mon Doom! Don't be like that! I mean, there's a Jaguar CD section! The only difference between it and CDI games is that the atrocities on the Jaguar CD are easy to find! ;D

I notice that makeshiftknight only uploaded two CDI (Zelda) covers. If I uploaded a bunch more, would that maybe speed up the process of a CDI section being created?

I'm not sure we will ever have a CDI section.. after all this is a site dedicated to gaming and lets face it... the CDI is little more than a door stop!...  ;D  j/k

Actually i'm all for a CDI section.. Maybe we can even do a CDI/PIPPIN/FM TOWNS section and call it "the failure corner"  :D

"Gee, it sure is  ::) boring around here."
"My boy, this peace is what all true warriors strive for."
"I just wonder what Ganon's up to."
"Your majesty, Ganon and his minions have seized to the island of Koridai."
"Great! I'll go grab my stuff!"
"There is no time. Your sword is enough."

Just pretending that that cover is for faces of evil. The wikipedia page on it is funny.
Quote
* Link - The main protagonist. He was proclaiming how boring it is because of Hyrule now at peace. He is then told by Gwonam that only he can defeat Ganon, who has now taken over the island nation of Koridai. And Gee, he sure is BORING!

    * Zelda - First seen denying Link a kiss. She is kidnapped by Ganon and held prisoner. Refuses Link a kiss in the end.
    * The King - Wonders what's for dinner.


    * Ganon - The main villain. He conquers Koridai and kidnaps Zelda. He is defeated by the Book of Koridai in one hit. He offers to make Link's face the greatest in all of Koridai prior to his defeat if Link allies himself with Ganon (he says if Link declined "he will die"), though the player is never given an option other than fighting.

Ok..this time,rather than pick one of the CD-I's lowest points (and it goes pretty low) to push for a CD-I section,i went for one of it's highest.

I hate migraines. I get them for no reason, sleep from after school until like 2-3 hours later, that still doesn't help, hurl right before I go to bed, and then I'm fine and dandy for school the next day. (aaarrrggghhh) :( doesn't begin to describe it. Migraines suck.

I made the mistake of eating some cheese late last night.I never have one just start,i always wake up with it in the morning.Flat out all day,did a little hurling of my own about midday.Finally went over about 5 ish.Cheese or Chocolate can start them of for me.And yes,they suck big time.

Not the most awe inspiring cover in the world...but it is pretty faithful to the orig. Actually quite enjoyed this game at the time,then the timekeeper chip battery went and all the saved games went with it. I since have performed surgery on it and got it going again so i may load this up and see how its holding up (not well i would imagine) ;D.

Its CDI time again!! A CDI version of a PC oldie...spooled it up for a quick go and i dont think its aged well. Kind of like puzzles meets Sewer Shark.

INCA (original jewel case)

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t289/Grumbleduke/inkycd.jpg)

As preservation of the original is a goal for the site, scanned and cleaned it up. Im going to try and do this with all jewel cases from now on ( i've said that before but this time i hope to stick to it. :) )
